Jotunheimen National Park
Panoramic views of Northern Europe's highest peaks, including Galdhøpiggen and Glittertind.
Jostedalsbreen Glacier
Glimpses of the largest glacier in continental Europe, appearing as a vast white ice sheet.
Hjørundfjorden
A dramatic, narrow fjord carved deep into the landscape, surrounded by towering rock walls.
Sunnmøre Alps
Jagged, alpine peaks that rise directly from the sea level to over 1,500 meters.
Geirangerfjord Distance View
On clear days, the upper reaches of the UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord can be spotted to the south.
Sit behind the wing to capture the full scale of the glaciers and fjords. Morning flights provide excellent side-lighting on the mountain ridges. In winter, the low sun creates long shadows that emphasize the dramatic relief of the Sunnmøre Alps.

Ålesund Cityscape

Storfjorden
